UPDATE: Pokemon Go fans have uncovered secret new features by looking through the update files.

As expected, Pokemon Go players can expect 100 new Pokemon as part of the next big update, as well as shiny variants and Pokemon genders.

Pointing towards a big Christmas event, the next Pokemon Go update looks like it will also include festive costumes for Pokemon.

According to The Silph Road, Niantic will make it possible to customise characters with hair, shirts, pants, hats, shoes and more items. These items will reportedly be unlocked by playing the game and by spending cash.
